PASTE JAR Application filed June 6,

My invention relates to a new and improved jar or container for liquids or pastes such as muoilage, glue, library paste, etc.

It is usual at present to provide these ars with a brush for applying the contents, either carried in a compartment in the jar or mounted in a rigid tin cap. \Vhen the brush is used it is very often wiped against the neck of the jar either to remove excess material or because of awkwardness in replacing the brush.

The jar, therefore, soon becomes messy and inconvenient to handle.

It is an object of my invention to provide a brush holder and cooperating means inside the ar so arranged as to reduce the possibility of the aforementioned occurrences even in careless use of the brush.

A further object of my invention is to provide a mounting for the brush which shall also act as a closure for the jar and be so arranged as to easily and accurately slip into position.

To achieve these objects I provide within 7 the jar a member having a wiping edge and mount the brush in a weighted, soft rubber stopper fitting within the jar.

In the drawings I have illustrated an embodiment of my invention which I shall now describe in detail; but it is to be understood that various changes and modifications may be made within the scope of my claims without departing from the spirit of my invention.

In the drawings:

Fig. 1 is an exploded view in elevation of a jar constructed according to my invention.

Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view in elevation showing all the parts in position.

N Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the closure 0 and brush-carrying member.

Fig. 4 is a perspective View of the wiping edge member and its securing means.

My container consists of a jar 1 adapted to contain a quantity of liquid or paste 2 and provided with a neck 3, a member 4, carrying a wiping edge, and supported from the lip of the neck 3, a clamp 5 for the member .4, a stopper and brush support 6, a brush 8, 50' and a cover 9.

1925. Serial. No. 35,405.

The wiping edge member consists of a frusto conical body provided with a flange 11 which rests upon the neck so that the body is supported within the jar. The lower edge of the body terminates slightly above the surface of the material 2 and acts as the wiping edge. The member 5 is shaped with internal screw threads to coact with screw-threads 3 formed upon the exterior of the neck 3 and is provided with a flange 12 to overlie and clamp the flange 11 when the member 5 is in position. The member 5 is also provided with external screw threads to coact with member 9; and with a depending tab 10 which rests against the exterior surface of the jar.

The brush carrier 6 consists of a body of soft rubber such as is used in sink stoppers and is shaped with a flange 13, adapted to overlie flange 12, and a conical exterior surface having a conical angle slightly less than that of member 4 and terminating in a projectinglip 16. The body of 6 is provided with a space to accommodate weight 7 which may conveniently be made of leador any other metal and is so designed that, when in position, its lower surface is flush with the surface 17 of the member 6. Holes 14 and 15 are provided in 6 and 7 respectively, to accommodate the handle of brush 8.

The cover 9 is provided with a screw threaded'depending skirt adapted to coact with the screw threads on 5 so as to clamp all the parts together.

j Vhen the user first opens the jar, he places his thumb upon the tab 10 so as to hold 5 stationary and unsorews the cover 9. -Tl1is cover may then be thrown away as the .memher 6 will function as a stopper. Of course, if the paste jar is only used occasionally, the cover maybe retained and reused.

- The hole 14 is made slightly narrower than the stem 8 so that the member 6 grips the brush stem tightly. When the brush is lifted, 1' any excess of material may be wiped off against the lower edge of 4 and drip back into the body of the material 2. On replacing, the brush falls into the proper position for insertion because of the weight 7 and the 100 stopper 6 fits easily and naturally inside the cone 5, the lip 16 being compressed and serving as an ehicient closure in conjunction with the flange 13. It will be seen that due to the slight deviation of the lateral surface of 6 fromthat of 5 no accurate fitting is necessary and the tendency to apply the brush against the inside or edge of the neck is absent. In other words the hand of the user is guided naturally to replace the brush correctly and with the minimum of sloppiness.

I claim:

1. A jar for liquids or pastes comprising a container having an upper edge, a hollow member extending into the container and providing an edge against which a brush may be wiped, and a block of compressible material adapted to enter the hollow of the member and act as a closure therefor and shaped with a flange adapted to overlie the upper edge of the container.

2. A jar for liquids or pastes comprising a container having an upper edge, a hollow member extending into the container and I supported from the upper edge of the container, and a block of compressible material adapted to enter the hollow of the member and act as a closure therefor and provided with a flange adapted to overlie the upper edge of the container.

3. A jar for liquids or pastes comprising a container having an upper edge, a hollow member extending into the container and having a flange adapted to rest upon the upper .edge of the container, means mounted upon the outside of the container and adapted to clamp the flange against the edge of the container, and a block of compressible material adapted to enter the hollow of the member and act as a closure therefor.

l. A jar for liquids or pastes comprising a container having an upper edge, a hollow member extending into the container and having a flange adapted to rest upon the upper 7 er go of the container, means mounted upon,

the outside of the container, and having a flange adapted to overlie and clamp to the edge of the container the flange of the said member, and a block of compressible material adapted to enter the hollow of the said member and act as a closure therefor and having a flange adapted to rest upon the second mentioned flange.

5. A jar for liquids or pastes comprising the container'and providing an'edge against ARTHUR PAULSON.
